Baroquen Circus: A Mardi Gras Spectacular

Gathered in a special, spectral corner of the Crescent City, an entourage of New Orleanians enjoy an intimate, decadent dinner party. But when the spirit of Carnival awakens, the air changes, becomes electric. Partygoers lower their inhibitions and lose all manner of self-control as they surrender, one by one, to the seduction of New Orleans Mardi Gras. 

Presented by LadyBEAST Productions, Baroquen Circus is celebrating the height of Carnival season with the sixth annual Vaude d'Gras, bringing a dazzling theatrical performance featuring circus arts, stunts, vaudeville, and sideshow performances by some of the city's finest including: Franky Canga, Clay Mazing, Sam Aquatic, Gogo McGregor, and LadyBEAST herself. 

Doors open at 7:30 pm; Show at 8 pm at the Marigny Opera House. $20–$45. Costumes encouraged. ladybeastproductions.com.
